	GR No. 208320 2015-08-19	GRACE DAVID Y CESAR v. PEOPLE CARPIO, J.
Well-settled is the rule that the trial court, having the opportunity to observe the witnesses and their demeanor during the trial, can best assess the credibility of the witnesses and their testimonies.[12] Petitioner's mere denial cannot prevail over the positive and categorical testimonies of the prosecution witnesses.[13] Factual findings of the trial court, especially when affirmed by the Court of Appeals, are deemed binding and conclusive unless substantial facts and circumstances have been overlooked or misconstrued, which if considered might affect the result of the case,[14] and absent any clear showing of abuse, arbitrariness or capriciousness.[15]
